Overview
What you will study
The Ernie Bevin and the Cold War course offered by University of Oxford discusses the following subject:
Much of the scholarship concerning the Cold War is understandably focused on the deterioration of diplomatic relations between the two main WWII victors, the USA and USSR. But a parallel debate among historians has stressed the role of UK Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin who adopted a hard-line anti-Soviet policy, even before the Americans themselves. Appalled by Soviet behaviour in Eastern Europe, including the coup in Prague, the multiple show trials, and the violation of the 4 power Berlin agreement, which necessitated the 1948 Air Lift, Bevin actively encouraged US President Truman to respond with both diplomatic and military measures. In this way Bevin prompted the Truman Doctrine in 1947 and the creation of NATO in 1949.
